A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I can't keep up with all the social justice stuff so I just quit caring about most of it.
I think Nick Mullen vocalized it best when people started throwing them Ukranian flag in their usernames and he was miffed that he had to remember another type of "gay" again.
Liberals are out here doing victory laps about pronouns in bios while their actual rights are getting systematically stripped away.
The word you are looking for is virtue signaling. There is a limited amount of good you can do.
The vast vast majority of those people aren't doing shit. It's like when they wanted us to bang pots n pans outside for nurses. It meant nothing.
Yep. I can't figure out if I think this way cos I'm 48, jaded and somehow not as progressive as I used to be, or if being up to speed with the latest sub-genres of an apparently vast sexual and gender spectrum is really just a waste of time. I don't feel any further right wing, and I hope I'll always subscribe to a 'live and let live' mindset, but who knows.
